This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 4”) amends the Schedule 13D filed by Moskovskaya Telecommunikatsionnaya Corporatsiya, an open joint stock company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation (“COMCOR”), and Mr. Yuri Pripachkin on March 4, 2004 (the “Schedule 13D”), as amended on October 6, 2004 (“Amendment No. 1”), on February 1, 2005 (“Amendment No. 2”), and on June 27, 2006 (“Amendment No. 3”).  All capitalized terms used in this statement and otherwise undefined shall have the meanings ascribed in Amendment No. 3.

Item 5.                        Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) 

Aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned as of the date hereof:

The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 12,913,475 shares of Common Stock, which includes: (i) 4,220,879 shares of Common Stock held directly by COMCOR, (ii) 3,375,084 shares of Common Stock held directly by RME, which COMCOR may be deemed to beneficially own by virtue of a shareholders agreement, dated August 26, 2004, as amended (the “Shareholders Agreement”), between COMCOR and RME, and as a result of the acquisition by RME of a controlling interest in COMCOR on June 7, 2006, (iii) 4,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value ("Preferred Stock"), held directly by RME, which are convertible into Common Stock within 60 days, which COMCOR may be deemed to beneficially own by virtue of the Shareholders Agreement, and as a result of the acquisition by RME of a controlling interest in COMCOR on June 7, 2006, and (iv) 81 7,512 shares of Common Stock, which COMCOR may be deemed to beneficially own by virtue of the Shareholders Agreement, as a result of the acquisition by RME of a controlling interest in COMCOR on June 7, 2006, and pursuant to irrevocable proxy and power of attorney arrangements (the “Irrevocable Proxy Arrangements”) between RME and certain stockholders of the Company.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, the filing of this Amendment No. 4 shall not be construed as an admission by Mr. Pripchkin that he beneficially owns any of the securities covered by this Amendment No. 4.

These shares constitute approximately 70.7% of the Company’s Common Stock, based upon a total of 18,252,738 shares of Common Stock, which figure is based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on September 21, 2006, as disclosed by the Company to COMCOR (13,745,283), and assumes conversion of 4,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock held by RME.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, which are issuable upon conversion or exercise of different securities, are beneficially owned only by the person who has the right to convert such securities and are deemed outstanding only in the calculation of the percentage of the class held by that person.  Because RME rather than COMCOR possesses the right to acquire Common Stock through conversion of Preferred Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock held by RME are not deemed to be beneficially owned by COMCOR under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).  Nevertheless, the Preferred Stock held by RME has a practical impact on the relative voting power of the Common Stock owned by COMCOR.  Because the holder of the Preferred Stock votes as a class with the holders of the Common Stock, the votes of the aggregate outstand ing shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are considered in determining action by the stockholders of the Company.  Therefore it is appropriate, regardless of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), to consider the Preferred Stock held by RME as outstanding Common Stock for purposes of computing the percentage voting power that COMCOR holds in the Common Stock.

 (b)      

Sole and shared voting power and dispositive power:

The Reporting Persons have shared voting power, subject to certain limitations, with respect to all of the 12,913,475 shares of Common Stock which they beneficially own, pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.  The Reporting Persons share such voting power with RME. Certain information regarding the directors and executive officers of



Page 5 of 9 Pages




RME is set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Reporting Persons have shared dispositive power, subject to certain limitations, with respect to 12,749,972 shares of the Common Stock which they beneficially own, pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and the Irrevocable Proxy Arrangements.  The Reporting Persons share such dispositive power with RME. Certain information regarding the directors and executive officers of RME is set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

(c) 

Transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days:  

In connection with the Company’s private offering of units (the “Units”) to certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), RME acquired 2,166,260 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $19,999,996 on September 21, 2006, pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated as of September 21, 2006 (the “Subscription Agreement”), between the Company and the Purchasers (the “Offering”).  Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company offered to sell each Unit, which consisted of one share of Common Stock and one-half warrant to acquire a share of Common Stock, at a purchase price of $9.2325.  COMCOR may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,166,260 shares of Common Stock purchased by RME in the Offering as a result of the Shareholders Agreement and as a result of the acquisition by RME of a controlling interest in COMCOR on June 7, 2006.  A copy of the Subscription Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 9 and is incorporated by reference herein.

(d)   

With the exception of RME, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt, of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the 4,220,879 shares of Common Stock held by COMCOR.  RME acquired a controlling interest in COMCOR on June 7, 2006 and may therefore be deemed to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt, of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock held by COMCOR.

(e)

Date on which the reporting persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five (5%) of the Common Stock:

Securities Holdings

Please fill in all blanks in the following questions related to your beneficial ownership of the Company’s common shares.  Generally, the term “beneficial ownership” refers to any direct or indirect interest in the securities which entitles you to any of the rights or benefits of ownership, even though you may not be the holder of record of the securities.  For example, securities held in “street name” over which you exercise voting or investment power would be considered beneficially owned by you.  Other examples of indirect ownership include ownership by a partnership in which you are a partner or by an estate or trust of which you or any member of your immediate family is a beneficiary.  Ownership of securities held in the names of your spouse, minor children or other relatives who live in the same household may be attribute d to you.


If you have any reason to believe that any interest in securities of the Company which you may have, or the entity for which you are responding may have, however remote, is a beneficial interest, please describe such interest.  For purposes of responding to this questionnaire, it is preferable to err on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion.  Where the SEC’s interpretation of beneficial ownership would require disclosure of your interest (or the interest of the entity for which you are responding) or possible interest in certain securities of the Company, and you believe that you (or the entity for which you are responding) do not actually possess the attributes of beneficial ownership, an appropriate response is to disclose the interest and, at the same time, disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities.


Please indicate the amount of common shares of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which you (or the entity for which you are responding) beneficially owned as of the date you are signing this questionnaire.


For each holding:


·

State the nature of the holding (i.e., held in your own name or in the name of the entity, or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, for which you are responding, jointly, as a trustee or beneficiary of a trust, as a custodian, as an executor, in discretionary accounts, by your spouse or minor children, by a partnership of which you are a partner and, if by a partnership, state the names of the partners of the partnership, etc.), and

·
